What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Garibaldi, Oregon for the first time?

Fishing is great. Like anywhere else, it's called fishing, not catching. Although we did catch fish, the captain made for a fun trip. I would recommend to go crabbing as well.

Hit and miss on the fish. Good weather but a very knowledgeable guide is recommended or you could be going for a boat ride

Hit the ocean on a great day. Easy out of the bar into the ocean for fishing. Garabaldi is a very quaint harbor and town!

Bring good clothing for different weather conditions, as the weather can be completely different from one day to the next.

Find a good guide, be flexible, come prepared, and understand the weather is the challenge.
